Cabot Watch Company (CWC) is a producer of Swiss Made timepieces for the British military as well as consumers worldwide.
[1][2] CWC was founded by Ray Mellor, who served in the Merchant Navy during the Battle of the Atlantic in World War II.
Following the war, he worked in the watch industry as director of UK subsidiaries of Certina, Zenith and Hamilton.
However they chose to close the UK operation and Mellor founded CWC in 1972 to continue supplying the British Ministry of Defence,[3] He named the business after the 15th century explorer as he worked in Bristol before the war and his son went to Bristol university where he decided to call the company Cabot Watch Company after John Cabot an intrepid explorer which he felt was fitting as he was starting a new exploration into uncharted waters.
